The story serves primarily as a backdrop for the game's mechanics, focusing on the progression of card collection and combat against increasingly challenging opponents. Players appreciate the depth of gameplay, including resource management and trading, but some feel the narrative is secondary to the card-based combat system. Overall, the story is engaging enough to keep players invested, even if it takes a backseat to gameplay.
- “I like the card combat system and switching between different game mechanics like resource hunting, trading, and missions.”
- “Ultimately, the veneer of mining, trading, crafting, and missions has just one purpose - manufacture more and more cards for your deck so you can defeat enemies who have progressively better decks than yours.”
- “I had not expected to be able to play that long for that low price and still haven't finished the story.”
